BOTTLE: This was a fun piece of work created on a whim and acquired in much the same way. The bottle is porcelain of which I am no longer a fan. The bottle is still in perfect condition and I am hoping it remains so. I think it is a clever piece reminding me of the animated introduction of the IDOJ episodes. The eyes could use a slight slant up at the corners but all in all it is a nice addition to the collection. Another very clever feature of this bottle is the unique rounded top stopper. I am told that the original design specifications for the Jim Beam bottle called for this sort of rounded stopper top but due to problems with it breaking off the design was deemed impractical and abandoned. Besides Dan Moyer’s prototype rounded stopper this is the only other one I have seen.
